it's caught in the end zone touchdown that was a great call by the coach and great execution by the players hike the kick is and it's good the away team Bridges the Gap a bit 28 14 I suppose no comeback is improbable but don't say that to the fans who are already to their carves the kick is caught at the 2 yd line tackled after a return of 16 the away team needs to get their act together on defense they'll need a big turnover or a quick stop to try and the momentum back in their favor z h number two catches it the home team will use their first time out here that'll bring up a fresh set of downs this is not the type of offense who want to hand momentum like this to they have some real threats on the field the home team uses their second timeout he hurs one the ball falls to the ground incomplete two wide receivers for the home team he drops back throws one way down the left side the pass falls harmlessly to the ground let's see what the call is on third down drops back into the pocket intercepted by number two number 63 did a fantastic job of reading the quarterback's eye and jumping on that route as an offense the best way to show appreciation to the defense for forcing a turnover is to go drive down the field and turn it into a score he's taken down close to the 48 the away team takes a timeout here that'll be enough for the first down as good as advertised Dave we expected to see some great offense today and it's coming tosses the ball he can't make the catch third play of the drive for the away te he steps back to pass incomplete third down launches a pass in complete the offense with two receivers quarter back to pass the pass connects with number 88 that will bring up first down that'll wrap things up for the second quarter the home team with the lead

be heard thanks Dave I had a chance to discuss the first half with the coach for the home team he said that he was proud of the way his guys were battling even though they were down by several points he also said they'll need to continue playing with this much hard if they expect to get back into the game back to you Dave thanks for the report Emma go number three takes the hand off that gets us to third down go he hands it to the runner that brings up fourth down the offense was expecting heavy pass coverage over the top and wisely ran the ball to pick up a few yards the kick is caught at the 23 yd line the defense could really use a big play here on defense something to spark a comeback he drops back the pass sets his feet and throws deep off to the right side and he's tackled first down this is not the type of offense you want to hand momentum like this to they have some real threats on the field he throws one stopped by po that will move the chains receiver gets up with a big first down motion pretty sure sure the defense have seen enough of that already number two takes the carry second down two wide receivers for the home team he hands it he steps in for six even as a QB I can respect these short ons both teams had to head in trenches and let the better and win go number 35 on the kick it's good the home team extends their lead 35 14 the home team moves firmly into control of this matchup with their two-possession lead Ross catches the kick off tackled after a return now 12 the offense has a great opportunity here to build some momentum and eat away at that lead they're facing hike the offense will take the hand off and look to pass second play of the [Applause] drive he makes the [Applause] [Music] throw that bring brings up third down third down p and he goes down that'll be a loss six four up on third down the temptation to push the ball down the field is greater but this quarterback did the right in by taking what the defense gave him Robinson behind the away team could really use a big play here on defense something to spark a comeback steps into the pocket he sets up and throws that'll give them a fresh set of downs the offense is giving the chain gain a workout down there they were barely set before needing the move sets his feet and throws way down the left side and he's in for that's one way to rock up fantasy points you get a lot of passing yards receiving yards and a touchdown all in the same play there's the kick and it's good the home team adds to their score 424 that's a big score for the home team number 30 sends this one into the end zone Ross catches the kickoff makes the return up to the 17 so much of football is mental the offense needs to get a score in this drive to build some confidence if they want any shot of coming back in this game throws out to the flat on the left side he can't make the catch it h brought down in the back field for a sack by number 91 that will bring up third down he steps back to pass snagged out of the air and he's brought down that will bring up first down we've got an injured player down on the field hike number three takes the carry second down throws up beyond the first down number nine steps back into the pocket saged out of the air that will bring up first down the running back on the run that gets us to Second down second down for the away team dropping back a penalty marker on the play let's see how the penalty affects things the defense will accept the penalty most holding penalties are the result of poor positioning by the blocker where they use their hands to compensate for being out of position C by number three that gets us to third down P he tosses one that'll give them a fresh seven Downs there's a flag on the field the away team takes the penalty if the coach hasn't created a culture where penalties are not acceptable then players won't take that extra effort to avoid making them hands it to number three that will bring up second down the running back takes the carry that will bring up third down a crucial third down for the offense green on the carry brought down almost immediately fourth down that's a smart play call you were in a bad position on third down take a few yards and live to fight another day the third quarter comes to an end the home team leading 424 go is made and he split the uprights for three points that's good from 27 yds out the away team closes the Gap a bit 42 177 that score is a good start but they're going to get their defense on the same page if they want to get back into this game and he's brought down after a return of 15 the defense has their backs to the wall here look for some aggressive Blitz packages and touch TI coverage Nelson fls back airs one out number 85 catches it good enough for a first down that play really caught the defense off guard I'm not sure what they were expecting there on first down but it wasn't that and it's off second down tonight the pitch is taken by number two finally brought down by number three that will bring up first down this line today regardless of who was in the back field they're making it a point to create those running Lanes drops back into the pocket throws one across the first down five that gets us to Second down [Applause] T and he's able even as a QB I can respect these short runs both teams had to head into trenches and let the better man win number three makes the kick it's good the home team widens the Gap a bit with that score 49 17 we're now looking at a two- position lead for the home team number 35 kicks it Ross takes the kick makes the return up to the 18 overall today they've been outperformed on offense it's time for them to buckle down and get things moving if they want any chance of turning things around the quarterback steps back into the pocket he's tackled up near the 28 yd line that gets us to Second down hi penalty marker on the field let's see what the call on the field is the away team takes the penalty the team that stays focused and mistake free usually wins the game then hike fakes the handoff number 88 on the reception good enough for a first down giving up those yards so quickly even the mascot looks frustrated with the defense he hands it to number three [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] tonight that will bring up first down first and goal said H the QB hands it [Music] [Applause] off brought down almost immediately that brings up a crucial third down hike he's stopped that'll bring up fourth down a conservative run call on Third and long you don't want to unnecessarily take any risks there and end up in a situation that's difficult to recover from they the kicks away taken at the two yd line tackled after a return of 16 the offense should focus on time of possession here keep the ball away from the other team drag this game [Applause] out he lets one fly way downfield along the sideline first down tight end right for the home team drops back into the pocket throws it out to the sideline and they can't connect incomplete second down he tosses one number 80 makes a nice catch someone on the defense is going to get an earful when they get to the sideline [Applause] [Music] hike that gets us to Second down z h he hands it to the [Music] runner that'll br bring up a fresh set of downs a successful rushing attack makes the defense pull that eighth man into the box which then opens up the passing game hi he hands it to the runner second and short it up Nelson makes the hand [Music] off when you can pick up the first by running it really opens up your playbook for the next set of downs steps into the pocket makes the throw across the first down line the pass falls harmlessly to the ground [Applause] go he tucks it and runs a crucial third down for the offense [Music] go when you can pick up the first by running it really opens up your playbook for the next set of downs T Nelson giv it away touchdown H six on the four Tob the defense seemed ready for it but the offense just wouldn't be denied hike here's the kick it's good the home team extends their lead 56 20 the away team would do well to really focus here they need to execute a quick drive and score to get back into this game Ross takes the kickoff back after a return of 13 the awaya team has dug themselves into quite a hole here they've got a chance to regain some of that on this drive it Hing back the defensive lineman makes the sack the offense will lose about nine the away team calls the first timeout Z hike throws one way downfield the away team will use their second timeout here that'll give them a fresh set of downs he drops back throws it to the sideline that will move the chains first down the quarterback back to pass number eight with the catch the away team takes their last timeout good enough for a first down grabbed out of the air and that's enough for a first down dropping back finds a Target he makes the catch in the endzone for a touchdown Dave not a lot of room for error here but the white out in QB got on the same page now they should the under touchdown and it's good the away team closes the Gap a bit 56 27 the home team would do well to execute a nice long drive here that would really take the wind out of the sails from this score the onside kick is unsuccessful it's going to take multiple possessions for the defense to get back into this game I'm expecting a lot of rooms on this drive to keep the clock moving third down Mike you know what time it is we're all anxious to hear who you've got as the stun of the game who is it number two for the home team made the whole team better today and earned my stud award overall a great performance [Applause]
